My boyfriend worked as an assistant, and didn't know that it was TAR until I told him afterwards - I watch it all the time.

They stayed at the Sheraton, and the host was waiting for the contestants at the Sun Moon Towers. They also went to the Diecai (Folded Brocade) Mountains and a steel factory.

They flew off that night, but the crew had to wait for everyone to get on the plane before they could leave their posts, probably for privacy.

I think they went to a salon to wash hair - but maybe it was just to get a clue. My boyfriend says that the host was tall and handsome.

That's all I know, you'd all find out for sure when the episode airs! 'Cause we all love TAR!

They flew off that night? Probably just Phil then? If they're flying to Beijing we should be expecting a 36-hour Pit Stop.

So for tasks we have the hair salon, comorants (riverside where Jen and Luke are fighting - and YAY!), something to do with the notebook and something to get LaKisha's hands dirty. We also have our Pit Stop, the Old South Gate, a steel factory and the very bizzare Folded Brocade Mountains.

Our Parents Will Cry Themselves to Death (China)When birds attack! - A fishing cormorant draws blood. A throwdown at a Cluebox leads to a mat showdown. One racer's frustration with non-English speakers grows and check out the most explosive pit stop - EVER!

"A throwdown at a Cluebox leads to a mat showdown." - Luke & Jen

"One racer's frustration with non-English speakers grows and check out the most explosive pit stop - EVER!" - could be Jaime??

ZOMG. MAT SHOWDOWN/MELTDOWN LOVE! I originally thought India would bring out the "best" in the teams, but I guess its China this time around! I loved to see her meltdown because of people not knowing English.

SPECULATION: T/V get first, Followed by M/L and K/J. Notice how T/V are in the middle... Lawyers anyone? J/C fall fourth. Pitstop closes and M/M comes dead last. But the previous episode showed me how much I love every single cast team!

Do we get to see Mirna as a pitstop greeter? I really remembered her when Luke and Jen were fighting...

So you're that desperate to see them in first? Seriously, they're not that good. I think it's either Margie & Luke or Kisha & Jen who win the leg. And having read that second clue, yeah, I think it's Jaime & Cara in fourth, probably after a day of hard times from non-English-speaking Chinese people.

I'm guessing Guilin doesn't have a lot of locals who speak English.

Exactly...Like what i've said before, Guilin is not a commercial zone,not at all , just a small town (but with BEAUTIFUL scenery)

Worst Case Scenarios, Jaime&Cara got a non-English-speaking taxi driver and he drive them to the wrong place(just like Hayden&Aaron,Kris&Jon in Season6, come on, that's Shanghai, and it happened there!), and no one can help them ------------------------ I got it! After I ask the people who live in Guilin, he said one of the clue box was at the entrance of the Guilin Li Rver Folk Customs Centre, Here is the picture.

Sun and Moon Towers, and the Soulmate Pier (Riyue Shuangta and Zhiyin Tai, No 13 on map)The clue *Pit Stop* was on Soulmate Pier, which faces the towers in the middle of the lake. There is a ticketing booth for tourist boats on the pier, and the guy manning the booth was probably lying when he said he didn't know anything. Teams not likely to have entered the towers though.

Uh-huh. That's the booth. That guy told me he worked alternate days and missed filming if there was any. He was still there the next day when I went back to check though.

ETA: I'm not too sure about this, but the mat is oriented so that teams have the towers as the backdrop while checking in. Running in from the road, this would mean teams run in from Phil's left. That gives us an arrival order of Kisha/Jen, Tammy/Victor, then Margie/Luke.

Found out that Neobie in Chinese means "f*king awesome"! No, really. Look it up!

Guilin is not a commercial city...just a small tourist province...so taxi driver/people there don't know how to speak in English is quite normal

. No, Guilin is not a small town. It is a city of 600,000 in a metro area of 1.34 million. It has hordes of English-speaking tourists visiting regularly. I would guess that there is a fair comprehension of English by some residents, although not more than 1 in 10. What are my credentials to say this? I've been there. Have you? I don't recall any difficulty getting around and I speak no Mandarin.

Jen is like she is grabbing the cluebox like a basketball.....A basketballl style match start between Jen & Luke.....Luke is complaining after the match is over.....Honestly, both of them are not bitch, they are just being mad to escape elimination.....From the preview, Luke is obviously start the war ft, and Jen pay back, so it is 1:1.....

Uh-huh. That's the booth. That guy told me he worked alternate days and missed filming if there was any. He was still there the next day when I went back to check though.

Neobie, your pitstop confrontation looks so epic! They're the Bomb! They looked like Miis on the Wii! I wonder if the game would be released in the Wii, We could reenact them bitching each other looking like Mii's
